Mei Ya couldn't say anything. She just felt a sharp pain in her heart. She tried hard not to cry. She raised her head high and then she was hugged by the man. She also put her arms around Zhong Mingwei's head. But she couldn't hold back her tears.
"How did you eat those chestnuts then?" Meiya asked, choking with sobs. She trembled as she stroked the man's neck, rubbing the thin silk thread on it.
"At that time, I felt that I would never be able to eat your cooking again," Zhong Mingwei buried his whole face in Meiya's arms. He took a deep breath, and the smell of Meiya filled his lungs, which made him feel at ease and calm. "Girl, your fried chestnuts are really delicious."
Yes, the chestnuts fried by his girl were really delicious, even with some mud and water on them, they still tasted so good. No other delicacies could compare to them.
Even though he almost died from vomiting that night, and even though he couldn't help wanting to vomit whenever he smelled chestnuts afterwards, he would always remember the smell of chestnuts covered in muddy water that night.
"Zhong Mingwei. That night, I hated you so much," Mei Ya choked up. Her fingers followed the thread all the way down, and finally held the small pendant in her hand. "But, every time I hate you a little more, I love you ten times more."
"Girl, I thought that night was the end of my life," Zhong Mingwei looked up at Meiya without blinking, his peach blossom eyes reflecting Meiya's tearful face. He reached out and took Meiya's hand and placed it on his heart, "Thank you for saving me."
"Zhong Mingwei, thank you too." Mei Ya said softly, bending down and kissing the man's pale lips.
Yes, Zhong Mingwei, thank you very much.
Thank you for not letting us follow the path of Sister Dalian and Brother Liu.

The prefectural government office.
After Fang Chengyin came back from outside, she hadn't spoken a word for the whole day. She sat alone in the room. She hadn't eaten a single bite of the lunch that the maid brought her, and it had already gone cold. When the maid came in with dinner, she was so worried when she saw the untouched food on the table.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The little maid Tao asked carefully while rearranging the dishes and chopsticks, "Why don't you want to eat today? Is it because the cook's cooking skills are not good enough?"
Fang Chengyin was a very outgoing person, and she was almost never angry. Even if she was angry, it would come and go quickly. She would never go a whole day without talking or eating, so the little maid was very anxious, and both anxious and scared, wondering what was wrong with Fang Chengyin.
"Go find two servants," Fang Chengyin said calmly, turning her head to look out the window at the lotus pot in full bloom in the yard. She had been staring at the large pot of lotus for the whole day. "Carry that pot of lotus out for me."
"Carry it out?" Ah Tao didn't understand. "Where should it be carried to?"
"Take it wherever you want!" Fang Chengyin said coldly, "Just don't leave it in my yard!"
"But doesn't Miss like lotus flowers?" Ah Tao looked puzzled and embarrassed. "This jar of lotus was specially selected by the master to be given to Miss. If the master knew that Miss actually..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?!" Fang Chengyin glared at the little maid fiercely, then without saying a word, she took the whip from the table and ran out, "You don't want to do it, right? Then I'll do it!"
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
…
"Miss, Miss! What are you doing?" Ah Tao was so frightened that she dared not move. She stared in amazement as Fang Chengyin whipped the lotus leaves in a bowl until they were unrecognizable. She was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to her knees with a plop. "Miss, what are you doing? Miss, please stop it!"
"Pa!" Fang Chengyin ignored Ah Tao and continued whipping the lotus. Suddenly, the whip changed direction and hit the person who had just entered.
Kong Wenjie was cheering and jumping for joy when he came in with the lunch box. He saw that it was Fang Chengyin who whipped him. He was relieved and dodged to the side. But the whip still hit him on the shoulder. Fang Chengyin used all her strength. The whip made Kong Wenjie grimace in pain: "Miss... Miss, it's your subordinate! It's me!"
